Challenge 28 ... Shapes ...

Firstly ... some heavy duty grovelling and apologies are in order as we naughty Humbuggers forgot to post the winner of our July Prize Draw last weekend.
*Sharp intake of breath x 2* 
Now we're not entirely sure whether it was because Ann's brain is sun-scorched and frazzled, and is finding it difficult to think of anything besides her darling new Grandson, or because Max's rain-sodden grey matter was recently struck by lightening which has resulted in a nasty case of 'forgetfulness virus', but suffice to say we're both extremely embarrassed by this oversight.   Even the hounds are hanging their heads in shame and refusing to go out in public!  We absolutely, definitely, promise, hands on heart, to do the draw announcement this weekend ...  without fail. HONEST!
Anyway ... moving swiftly away from our extremely red faces back to Challenge business lol! 
You left us in no doubt that our 'Meeces' challenge was a hit with a lot of you - it was difficult to keep up with the fantastic variety of images and ideas being shared across blogland.  Gold stars for everyone ... and if we haven't visited you yet please bear with us - we will get there eventually.   OKAY so last week you were awesome but will you be able to continue that trend with this week's little brain-tickler of ...
Shaped Cards/Projects 
The majority of cards we crafters make are either square or rectangular, so this challenge is encouraging you to take things a step further and create something else entirely ... use any shape EXCEPT a square or rectangle.  
The (still red-faced) Humbuggers and our Guest Designers Abi and Kathy K have rustled up a few tantalising titbits to get you started but we'd love to see your ideas too!
If you'd like to know more details about this week's DT projects, or just want to leave some love for Ann, Max, Abi and Kathy K please click on the links above each image to visit our personal blogs.  We always appreciate your comments and opinions. 
Ann - Just for Fun
Max - Max's Craft Creations

*********************
The deadline for this challenge is 
12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 21st July 2011
 *********************
You are free to create whatever you like ... it doesn't have to be a card ... in fact, show us as many different Christmas Projects as you want to share.  
Just remember ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity.
